SUSTAINABILITY
Our contribution
Environment and climate
Goal 12 aims to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. Among other things, the goal highlights sustainable management and the efficient use of natural resources, as well as reducing the amount of waste.
Goal 12: Most of Starbreeze’s game distribution is digital, which reduces the extent of the physical distribution link and thereby the need for transport and plastic packaging. The ambition is to minimize the company’s ecological footprint, so that Starbreeze is working towards this goal by following the development of climate-smart alternatives for all parts of its operations.
Employees and society

Goal 5 aims to increase gender equality and reduce all forms of discrimination, violence and oppression.
Goal 10 focuses on reducing inequality and the importance of working for a society where no one is left behind.
Goal 4: To contribute to a stronger supply of skills, Starbreeze has close practical collaborations with universities and colleges in Sweden. The company’s CEO and employees are active lecturers on most labor market days and at Swedish higher education institutions.
